Tip 20: Eat Out at Farm-to-Table Restaurants

The idea of “farm to table” restaurants is more than just a cute and clever marketing tactic – it actually has a purpose! With the transport of food being responsible for close to 20% of our emissions, reducing the need for long transport will cut this number drastically.

“Farm-to-table” simply means that the food comes directly from the farms, most of which practice ethically-responsible farming like free-range livestock, non-GMO crops, and organic farming. The impact of farm-to-table is even greater when the food is sourced locally. Not only will it just require one trip to transport the food from the farm, but locally grown food doesn’t travel nearly as far as non-local.

Thanks to the increased popularity of sustainability, farm-to-table restaurants are popping up all over the place.
